Rainy long weekend here in Alberta so there is stuff getting done - so far I knocked off one of the old Airfix 6-pdr kits plus an extra gun cobbled from my bits box -these may have a role to play in the upcoming next chapter in the Operation Martlet campaign. Also finished are two regiments of Hanoverian infantry for Quatre Bras from Magister Militum.

It's been a while since my last post since we took the kids to Florida for a short spring break. Since coming back I finished a couple more regiments of 1815 allies - Nassau infantry and a Belgian hussar regiment.

I also experimented with a basing sabot for 10mm fantasy figs. I picked up Pendraken's Warband rules and quite like them for 10mm massed fantasy battles, here I am thinking of using my Battle of the Five Armies GW troops, but the rules require large bases. Here I have fit 3 40mm bases on an 80 x 40 with a dice holder in one corner to mark the unit morale. Might work...
